As Noordsij points out on Twitter, the impressive part here is not only that the Tesla's autopilot radar feature predicted the crash, but it was able to recognize what was coming two cars ahead of the driver.
According to Noordsij, the Telsa's emergency braking kicked in before he himself took over and applied the brakes manually. He also shared on Twittter that the drivers involved in the accident escaped without major injury.
In September, Telsa announced that its autopilot upgrade would rely heavily on this feature. The update was pushed out to its first generation autopilot hardware.
"The most significant upgrade to Autopilot will be the use of more advanced signal processing to create a picture of the world using the onboard radar," the company wrote in a blog post.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently teased that HW2 should be receiving its upgrade soon.
